Video: 'Paul & Linda McCartney - Good Morning America 1980 (Part 1)'

(Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 1980, the main interview began at 12:48 p.m. GMT) — Former Beatle Paul McCartney appeared live this morning (with his wife, Linda McCartney) from their Sussex farmhouse on ABC’s Good Morning America to plug his concert film Rockshow, which had opened the previous day at the Ziegfeld Theatre at 141 West 54th Street in New York City.

Anchor David Hartman asked McCartney about fellow ex-Beatle John Lennon’s apparent resentment towards him, inquiring: “Do you know why?”

“I don’t know. I can guess and stuff. I actually keep a bit quiet now because anything I say he gets a bit resentful of,” McCartney said. “It’s a weird one. I don’t quite know why he thinks like that I really just shut up these days … It’s the best policy, David.”
